This figure is showing the relationship between Health Facility and DOTS (Community_based) TB treatment notifications reported as proportions.

1. Linear Relationship

The data points do not clearly form a straight-line trend, suggesting that the relationship may not be strongly linear. While some clusters of points indicate potential patterns, the distribution appears scattered, especially at higher notification levels.

2. Clustering A notable cluster of points is observed around 80 Facility TB Notifications, with varying DOTS Notifications ranging from low to high. This suggests that many facilities consistently report similar levels of notifications. A smaller cluster is visible in the range of 40–60 Facility Notifications, indicating moderate activity.

3. Outliers A few points deviate significantly from the main cluster, particularly with DOTS Notifications above 150. These might indicate: Facilities or regions with higher-than-average DOTS notifications. Data discrepancies or unique cases.

4. Trend Indication There seems to be a general positive trend (higher Facility TB Notifications correlate with higher DOTS Notifications), but it is weak and not uniform. A formal correlation analysis (e.g., Pearson or Spearman coefficient) could provide further insight into the strength and nature of the relationship.

5. Implications: The plot suggests that Facility TB Notifications and DOTS Notifications might have a weak or non-linear relationship. Clusters and outliers should be further investigated to understand regional or operational differences.
